TOILET-CASE.

SPEC LFICATION- forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,222, dated March I8, 1884.

'To all whom. t may concern.-

Bc it known that I, HART O. BERG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county and State ot' New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in lowing is a full, complete, and exact specification, reference being had to the annexed drawings, which form a part thereof.

The object oi' my invention is to construct a toiletcase which will serve at one time as a convenient receptacle for a brush, comb, and v mirror, or other toilet articles, and at another can be used to hold collars, neckties, and other articles. rlhis is accomplished by attaching to one side ofthe body and lid of the interior portion of the case a frame-Work covered with any suitable materia-1,' as silk, Snc., and then placing on the bottom of the cover and body of the case, beneath these frames, panels of pasteboard or other material, provided on their surfaces with the necessary projections for the reception and holding of such articles as brushes, combs, and mirrors.

In the annexed drawings, Figure I shows a perspective view ci' my case with the frames :in a raised position, one of which is hinged to one side of the cover, and the other to one side ol' the body. Fig. II is a vertical transverse section of the case, showing the panels and frames. Figs. III and V are plan views of the panels. Fig. IV is a longitudinalsectional view of Fig. III.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.

In the drawings, M vindicates the frames, which are ordinarily made of Wood, of a size conformable to that of the box to which theyY are attached, and are covered very loosely with satin, silk, or other material. These frames are suitably hinged to one side of the bottom of the body and cover of the case. The cover oi' the case is indica-ted by O and the body by N..A

W'hen it is desired to use the case as a receptacle for a brush, comb, and mirror, the

' frames M are lifted up a short distance, and

on the bottom oi' the body and cover are placed, respectively, the panels K and I), which are provided on their surfaces with suitable projections for the reception, in the body of the case, of the comb and brush, and, on the cover,

Toilet-Cases, of which the folv of the mirror. 'Ihe frames M are then closed down on the panels and in the projections on the surfaces of the panels, which now restin and are covered by the satin or other material of the. frame M. The various articles-as comb and brush-are placed and secured in the body, while a mirror is secured to the cover. If it is desired to use the case for the reception of other articles than a brush, comb, or mirror, it will be necessary, of course, to alter the projections on the surfaces of the panels.

Vhen the case is to be used for holding neckties, gloves, or collars, or other similar articles, the frames are uplifted and the panels K and I are removed. rlhe :frames are then restored to their original position, and in this way afford a neat background for the case.

.The advantage which results from the use of my improvement is that I am able to accomplish what I desire in a more convenient manner than is attained by other inventions lof a similar class.

By using the frames M loosely covered by silk, satin, or other suitable material, and iiiserting between them and the bottom of the case the panels K and I), I am able to economize in the use of material and in the construction of the case. In other inventions separate trays are necessary for the comb, brush, and mirror, and a separate surface of silk or satin in addition for the bottom of the case when the trays are removed, in order that the case may serve as a neat and t receptacle'y for collars, neckties, and'other similar articles,

While in my invent-ion the satin -covered frames M, when resting on the panels K and P, provide means for holding in position a brush, comb, or mirror, and when the panels are removed Without necessitating the employment of any other arrangement, they form a desirable and pretty background for the case when it is used for collars and neclrties, as Well as a covering for the bottom ofthe case.

That I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A toilet-case provided on its interior with frames attached to one side of the body and cover, and covered withl satin or any other suitable material, and removable panels in IOO serted between the frames and the bottom of removable panels K and P, sub lthe bodyV and cover of the case, having on described and set forth. their' surfaces the requisite projections for stantially as holding and securing toilet articles, substim- HART O' BERG' 5 tally as described. I Witnesses:

2. In a toilet-oase, the combiiiation of the l E. HQROGERS, frames M, the .body N, the @over O, and the EDWARD P. FARRELL.
